Hello!

When solving a quadratic equation, we should begin by confirming that the right side is equal to 0. The equation above, however, contains a 2 on the right side.

Therefore, the most logical first step would be to subtract 2 from both sides, leaving the ride side equal to 0.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

Option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2-4x+16= 2$

In order to simplify the equation the first step is to subtract 2 from both sides to make 0 in the right side and converting it in standard form

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

therefore option D is correct

3. Simplify. 312⋅312 4. Rewrite n√xm using a rational expression.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Left

As near as I can tell, the question is x^(1/2) * x^(1/2) = The bases are the same, so all you do is add the powers.

x^(1/2 + 1/2) = x^1 which is just x.

Right

The is another one where the work is hard to show. The numerator (m) of the fraction is the power and the denominator (n) is the root. That sentence is all the work there is.

So you would write $\sqrt[m]{x^{n} } = x^{\frac{m}{n} }$
